IMPROVEMENT IN PRINTERS GALLEVS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 78,924, dated June20, 1876; application filed May 22, 1876. e I

00 m, Fig. 1, in position for locking the type;

and Fig. 3, an end view of the galley, with locking attachment in foldedposition.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of my invention is to provide for printing-officesan improvedgalley, by which the type may be locked in an instant withoutside-sticks, quoins, and chase, for taking proofs, and unlocked formaking corrections without soalin g of type.

The inven tion consists of an adjustable cross bar that is applied byhinged or bucklejoints to the side of the galley, to be readily foldedout of the way or locked to the type. I

In the drawing, A represents a galley of the usual construction; B, ahinged or knucklejointed frame that is hinged to and adjusted by slottedplates and set-screws O at the side of the galley. The locking brass barD extends along side of types, and bears firmly against them when thehinged or knuckleframe B is completely opened. The lockingbar D may alsobe adjusted to greater or less distance from the. galley by means ofslots and clamp-screws of the hinged frame B, as shown in dotted linesin Fig. 1, so as to set it to different width of type, and make itavailable for any galley in use. The hinged Fig. 2 isa ing proof, thelocking-bar is brought against the types, and the knuckle or hingedframe lowered and extended to its full width, giving thereby a firm andcomplete locking of the type at a saving 'ot' time and labor, as well inthe looking as in the unlocking of the types. As, in the lifting of thehinged frame, the. lower part of the locking-bar is f rst withdrawn fromthe bottom of the types, while the bar still holds the upper part of thetype, the locking-bar may be easily released without producing anyscaling off of types, which forms an objectionable feature of thelocking attachment of galleys heretofore in use.

Having thus described my inventiomwhat I' claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with a printers galley, of anadjustable locking-bar,applied by a hinge or knuckle jointed frame to be folded out of the wayor opened to lock the type, substantially as and for the purposedescribed.
